Relationship between Eimeria oocyst infectivity for chickens and in vitro excystation of E. acervulina, E. maxima, and E. tenella oocyst during long-term storage

ABSTRACT: Vaccination of chickens against avian coccidiosis in chickens often involves storing Eimeria oocysts for months after oocyst propagation and sporulation. The purpose of this study was to determine how long E. acervulina, E. maxima, and E. tenella oocysts remained viable when stored at refr...
